Is it just me or does it seem like the Fall season is blindly busy and tends
to accelerate at a pace that seems faster than any other? I guess it's especially busy for me because Fall represents the upcoming
holiday card season, a season for me that is dominated by creativity! Each Fall (for the past three years), I've
set out to design custom holiday cards, and recently I have come to realize that the word “custom” has become very
over used these days. It often times
gets replaced with the word “personalized”, but in reality, the two are actually
very different. Personalized means you
take a design that is already done and add your personal text or photo. “Custom” means the design was created solely
for you. Clients come to me with very
specific ideas for their design and others come to me with no idea at all and
let me just run with it. My card designs
vary with those that focus on one photo to others that use more than one. My goal is simple, to create a process that
is as easy and efficient as possible, and my prices (each one of these cards
was designed and printed with envelops for $65 or less) competitive so to
address the needs of my clients. Doing
this makes me happy, and ultimately, I hope my clients are happy in
return! With that being said, I wanted
to share a few of my favorites (including mine) from this year! Happy Holidays!

About Me

Hi, I’m Laura. Wife to a wonderful guy, mom to an energetic toddler, and owner of a lazy dachshund. I am a coffee addict, a big Iowa Hawkeye fan, a runner {or so I like to think}, and a bit of a neat freak. I love graphic design, DIY projects, anything chocolate, being with my family, and taking pictures. I decided to start this blog as a creative outlet for my design work and share the things I love. Thanks for stopping by!
